Neymar Jr. Comics Launches the Third Season of “Social Monsters”

The latest issue of the young adult comic joins the free comic book library for families in quarantine

New York, (April 14, 2020) – Fan The Flame Concepts LLC, an independent producer of comics and graphic novels, announced today that Neymar Jr. Comics has launched the third season of Social Monsters, one of its titles for all ages. The new season joins its entire library of more than 200 individual episodes, available in six languages, free of charge to fans who are isolating at home during the COVID-19 crisis.

Social Monsters was developed by New York Times best-selling author and comic book and graphic novel creator Jason M. Burns. The stories follow the main characters, Saber and Davi, as they travel the world, bringing history, geography, and science to life. The third season features adventures in the U.S. (California and Kentucky), the United Kingdom, Armenia, and Germany. The new season features artwork by Mauricio Caballero and Sergio Rios, with colors by Dustin Evans and Jota Cabral.

“With people unable to travel during this pandemic, these stories help children and their parents around the world learn about the history, geography, and science of different countries,” said Neymar Jr. “Social Monsters is a great way for students and families to come together and take a virtual trip during these difficult times.”

Neymar Jr. Comics has more than 3 million followers worldwide who enjoy its comics on the immersive digital comics platform Fan The Flame, via the mobile app or at www.NeymarJrComics.com, where readers can access content in six languages on a single website—an app that’s unique in the world of comics. Since each episode is released in English, Castilian, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian, this brings the total to over 1,200 episodes available for free.

With more than a billion children around the world currently out of school, stories in various languages can be used by parents and teachers to help make remote language classes more fun. The activity pages are designed to help families and children have fun and learn during this difficult time.

Neymar Jr. Comics is available exclusively on its website or through the dynamic and immersive experience of the Neymar Jr. Comics mobile app. The app is available for iOS on the App Store and for Android on the Google Play Store.

In addition, its comic book artists will continue to host free live streams, featuring character drawing demonstrations and panel discussions on its Facebook page and YouTube channel, including the upcoming sessions on Wednesday, April 15—at 2:00 p.m. (Brasília time), featuring Dustin Evans (in English) on “The Anatomy of a Logo” — How to Create an Eye-Catching Logo for Your Comic Book — and then on Friday, April 17, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, with Mauricio Caballero (speaking in Spanish and English) on “Setting Up a Comic Book Page with Panels.”
